Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006032389A1] The invention concerns a single-piece windscreen wiper arm (14) moulded in plastic material comprising: a first driving end section (16) which is fixed to a shaft (18) driving in reciprocating sweeping movement; a second sweeping end section (24) bearing a blade (26) wiping a pane (10); and means (30, 34) for providing flexibility to an intermediate section (28) of the arm such that the sweeping section (24) is mobile from a wiping position wherein the wiper blade (26) is pressed against the pane (10), towards an intervening position wherein the sweeping section (24) is spaced apart from the pane (10) under the effect of a force (F) applied to the arm (14) to cause the elastic deformation of the flexible intermediate section (28). The invention is characterized in that the intermediate section (28) comprises at least one transverse groove (30) which is arranged in an upper side (32) of the arm (14) so as to provide the intermediate section (28) with said flexibility.
